An Unusual Place to Shoot

Hello all! Hector here. First and foremost I want to thank all of you for your great response to the last post. I was so thrilled to see how many of you actually took the time to visit some of my other fellow Fashion Bloggers Who Tech blogs, and the overall reception the group had was really positive. I must say that I’m also super excited to see the amazing things that we’ll be able to create as a group, and I’ll make sure to let you know about our fancy gatherings and exchange of ideas here in the blog. That’s something that I have really liked about my blogging experience over this year, how it has brought me closer together to so many people both here and back in Mexico, and even friends from all over the world. It’s just a great platform where the world gets connected to share their thoughts, and I’m happy to be part of it.

For today’s post, I wanted to show you a very special, fun photoshoot I did with my blog BFF Kim right before she left for her recruiting trip. It comes with perfect timing because precisely Kim is coming back this week, and I can’t wait to meet her! It’s been almost 3 weeks since we last got together for our regular meet-ups over ice cream or bubble tea, and I’ve been missing that time a lot. So this time we decided to shoot at the Microsoft campus library, because why not right? I mean, we’ve shot in the trees, by the stairwells, in many Microsoft buildings, but never at our own company library. There’s something really cool about this place, it’s so quiet and peaceful, that it inspires so many thoughts and ideas from the greatest minds. And there’s so much knowledge hanging on the walls, just a grab away waiting for you to discover it. This brought me back lots of memories from when I was a student, when we would hang at the library to study for an exam or work on a team project. Those were some pretty awesome days, and given my extra curious nature I’ve always been drawn to spend some extra time among the universe of knowledge that a library is.

How I came to wear this outfit for this photoshoot is quite interesting, because it was totally not planned. I was already wearing this to meet with Kim, and the moment she saw me in this cardigan and khakis combination she said I looked like a hip librarian. That’s when she came up with the idea of shooting at the library, and I must say that I loved this idea! It was going to be challenging though, since libraries are pretty quiet and we usually are just a bunch of goofballs when we take photos (of course, you only get to see the nice, fashion-blogger-posed photos here haha). Still, we were able to take some really nice pics and we had a great time together. One piece that I want to highlight here is the orange and pink plaid shirt I’m wearing. I got this shirt as a late birthday gift from my friend Pablo, and I feel it blends really well with my sense of style. I love the colors, and it looks amazing with just a cardigan or sweater and my favorite Sperry shoes. What do you guys feel? Is there any place you feel that really inspires your creative thought? Thanks Pablo for the very nice gift and thank you Kim for having this wonderful idea! I can’t wait to see you later this week!

Well that’s it for today guys. I hope you liked this post and that you have an amazing rest of the week. As I mentioned in my last entry, this weekend I’ll be flying to Monterrey for my friend Daniel’s wedding. I’m really looking forward to this because I’ll be able to see my friends and family once again before the holidays. I’m still undecided about my Halloween costume. I think I’ve narrowed it to two ideas I have, but I still have to figure out some of the details to see which one would be the best. Nevertheless, I’ll let you know first before I actually wear the costume on Halloween night. Like always, remember to dress up to the occasion and to let your voice be heard. See you Wednesday with some Mexican wedding pics. Till next one!
